Book Reviews of The Key: And the Name of the Key Is Willingness
Book Review: More layers than the proverbial onion
Summary: 5 Stars
"Acceptance" is a lofty goal and yet a difficult one to achieve, especially when one's life has been fraught with challenges. Sometimes words like "fair" creep into thinking and push acceptance out of the picture, yet in doing so robs one of her chance for serenity.
My Twelve Step sponsor suggested this as a first stepping stone toward a spiritual awakening, but it took years of beating my head against the brick wall of "should" before I had the willingness to let go and just accept in the way this book suggests.
I have a hard head, so it took nearly ten years and a lot of painful life lessons to find that acceptance, and I sometimes wonder if I would have found it at all had it not been for the gentle, loving message in this book. It tells me things, reinforces that which I learned elsewhere, helps guide me along the path toward lasting inner peace.
I reread The Key from time to time, and I continue to find new layers to its message. Everything I experienced, realized and accepted since the previous reading has never failed to reveal some new, more clarified meaning than before. Like any spiritual experience of the educational variety, it keeps growing over time.
Summary of The Key: And the Name of the Key Is Willingness
These insights from many years of Zen meditation practice appeal to a wide range of spiritual traditions and explore topics such as the difference between process and content, notions of right and wrong, ending self-punishment, and taking responsibility for one's experiences. Perfect for beginning Zen students and for those interested in Buddhism in general or eastern religion, it features deep spiritual insights and playful illustrations that add warmth and approachability to the topic.
